Powerball Jackpot Leaps to $155 Million; $1 Million Power Play Prize Won!

Sunday, November 25, 2007 posted 12:21 PM EST

Powerball has reached an estimated $155 million jackpot for Wednesday night's draw as the grand prize was not hit Saturday evening. In addition, one ticket from North Carolina won a $1 million cash prize with the Power Play option! Six other tickets from Delaware (1), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Minnesota (1), Montana (1), and Oklahoma (1) matched all 5 white balls for a $200,000 cash win!

The jackpot for the Wednesday, November 28th drawing will be $155 million with the cash option at $77 million.

The numbers drawn Saturday evening were 1, 7, 13, 23, 35, and the Powerball was 19. The Power Play multiplier was 5.

Forty-three tickets matched 4 white numbers plus the Powerball and won $10,000. Eight additional players of that prize level wisely purchased the Power Play and had their prize multiplied by 5 for a $50,000 cash win! A total of 710,490 players across the nation won more than $8.7 million in prizes playing America's favorite game.

Over 120,000 winning Powerball players multiplied their prize by 5 Saturday. They were able to do that by purchasing the Power Play option for $1. With Power Play you multiply your Powerball winnings from 2-5 times, except for the jackpot. At the beginning of each drawing a wheel is spun to select that night's multiplier.

Players should carefully check their tickets after every draw. Even if there are no jackpot winners there are always tens of thousands of winners at other prize levels.

Players purchased $29,230,635 in Powerball and Power Play tickets between Thursday and Saturday night.

The lotteries sold $2.5 billion in Powerball tickets in fiscal year 2007. That translates into over $725 million for worthwhile state projects.

Powerball is now played in 29 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
